Within the Palace Walls: I Rose to the Top with Tea Art

Everyone says I'm as mild and unassuming as tea, content to keep to myself and avoid conflict.

I just smile and say nothing.

Three years ago, I used a cup of tea to help my legitimate elder sister ascend to the empress's throne. Two years later, I used another cup of tea to send her plunging into the abyss.

In the imperial harem, you can cross the empress who holds the phoenix seal, and you can cross the favored consort, but never cross me, Su Jingcha, who only knows how to brew tea.

Because you never know whether the next cup I serve you will be a life-saving remedy or a poison that brings your death.

A striking character: Her seemingly “mild as tea” exterior conceals the ruthless methods that can send her sister “plunging into the abyss.” Her “sweet on the outside, dark within” nature is vivid and compelling.

A tantalizing mystery: The story of helping her legitimate elder sister become empress, only to drag her into the abyss, is steeped in betrayal and intrigue, making readers eager to discover why.

A warning with bite: “Never cross me” is a provocative, satisfying declaration that makes the heroine's danger and strength unforgettable.
